Eli Krantzberg is your guide for this vast, in-depth look at Pro Tools 2022. From setting up your audio interface and recording your first track to using side-chain compression and automation, these comprehensive Pro Tools video tutorials will familiarize you with all the important elements of this music production industry standard. By the time you’re through, you’ll be able to record both audio and MIDI, apply effects, and mix your tracks down to a final stereo recording that can be shared with everybody. These videos are for new Pro Tools users.
After welcoming you with a brief overview of the course’s contents, Eli begins by showing you how to create your first session in Pro Tools, which includes configuring your audio interface and setting up a few key preferences. Discover how to use the New Tracks dialogue box to create a new track and explore the various edit modes (Slip, Shuffle, and Spot) and grid basics. You’ll also learn how to use various editing features, such as the trim, selector, grabber, and smart tools and get an overview of the main Edit Window.
Next, explore the transport functions and common navigation functions, as well as click, countoff, tempo, meter, and other time-based features. Eli then demonstrates how to get started with effects plugins, which enable you to add reverb, delay, compression, EQ, and more to help polish and enhance your tracks in creative ways. These plugins can be used as insert effects, which is often used to process one track individually, or send/return effects, which is commonly used to apply the same effect (in varying amounts) to several tracks simultaneously.
The rest of the course covers many more topics, including track presets, recording MIDI and audio, MIDI merge and quantization, loop recording, punch recording, MIDI step recording, setting up a headphone mix, monitoring modes, counters/ranges/selections, multiple takes, playlists/comping, MIDI editing, clip editing, memory locations, and so much more!
The Pro Tools video descriptions provide more detailed information on the contents of each video and also make it clear how this course will provide you with a solid foundation of knowledge upon which you can build as you become more proficient. There’s a lot to learn if you want to master this DAW, but you have to start somewhere; and you can’t do better in that regard than this course! Watch “Pro Tools Explained®” today!
